CHURN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 223,879, dated January2'7, 1880.

I Application filed December 15,1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LWILLIAM H. BROGKMAN, of Anderson Court-House, inthecounty of Anderson and State of South Carolina, have 5 invented a newand valuable Improvement in Ohurn-Dashers; and I do hereby declare thatthe followingis a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation, of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawroings, making a part of this specification, and

. to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a perspective view ofthe dasher, and Fig.

I 5 2 is a vertical central section thereof.

This invention has relation to'churn-dashers of that class having aseries of radial angular heaters secured by an annular peripheral bandand attached to a dasher-rod at their converg- 2o ing ends; and it hasfor its object to create a series of conflicting currents in the creamwhen the dasher is operated; and it consists in the construction andnovel arrangement of a series of angular heaters radially arranged be- 25 tween the rod-socket and a peripheral band,

and expanding outwardly, said heaters having their concave or channelfaces alternately upward and downward and inclined toward as well asfrom the peripheral band, next to which'they have escape-openings, ashereinafter shown and described.

In the accompanying drawings,the letter A designates the central socketfor the dash-rod, consisting of a small ring or band of metal, tin

4 being preferred. Bindicates the peripheral band, and G C the angularheaters or channel-pieces, connected at their smaller ends to the socketA, and expanding outward to the band B, to which they are also connectedon 0 the inside wall of the hand.

The downwardly-turned heaters G are inclined outward and upward, andhave at their outer ends,next the band, openings at. These heaters aredesigned in the churning operation 5 to carry the air down into themilk, the openings allowing it to escape upward through the milk. Oneach side of each downwardly-turned heater is an upturned heater, 0,also angular in form, and havings openings a next the peripheral band,but reversely inclined outward and downward toward said hand. Theseheaters or channel pieces serve, when the churning is done, to gatherthe particles of butter, the milk escaping through the openings Ct. 5 5

The under side of each heater 0, being angular and laterally slantingupward, throws the milk in two directions or currents as the dasher isforced down, thereby forming over each down wardly-turned beater meetingor conflictin g currents, as indicated in the sectional View in thedrawings. So, also, the downwardlyturned heaters G are angular on theirupper sides, and when the dasher is raised produce conflicting currentsunder the dasher. In this manner the currents are caused to cometogether .both in the ascent and descent of the dasher, and the butteris'produced in a remarkably short time. The angular tapering pieces 0 Oare of similar pattern, and, being of small size, may be; made out ofscraps or refuse tin at a small expense; and the entire dasher may bereadily made by any tinsmith.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The churn-dasher herein described, consisting of the angular heaters GG, radially arranged between the rod-socket A and a periph eral band,B,and extending outwardly, said heaters having their concave or channelfaces alternately upward and downward and respectivelyinclined towardand from the periph eral band, next to which they are provided withescape-openings a a, as shown and described. 8 5

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM HOSEA BROOKMAN.
